2013: Not only has Michael Palin had a career as one of the funniest actors, writers and producers of all time, he is a prolific travel writer and documentary presenter. Michael rose to fame as part of the Monty Python team, and in 2000 he was awarded a CBE for his services to television. He has kindly donated these Rockport shoes in a size 8.5 to Small Steps. Not only has Michael signed the shoes, he also wrote ‘My right shoe’ and ‘My left shoe’, just in case you weren’t sure. And to make the shoes extra special Michael wrote that shoes had been with him in the Sahara 2001 and the Himialayas in 2004

2011: Michael Palin puts his best foot forward. Truly a national treasure! Michael Palin has donated some shoes he wore while shooting on location! Thank you Michael! What a gent!
